My last post here.

[ynneb]

This will be my last post in this forum.
I am going away for a while, for a few private reasons I dont wish to talk about. So sorry I cant share why. (Stop imagining the worst, its not jail OK)

I just cant leave without saying goodbye though. This place has been a wonderfull home to me for the last year. I have made some really great friends here in that time. I have learnt soooooo many new things from you all.
If it wasnt for all your wonderful posts, I know I would definately not have a CNC machine today.

It was especially nice to actually meet some of you guys face to face at "The great Aussie BBQ"

I wish to thank Paul ( Admin ) for putting together such a great web site. I bet when you made the site you never dreamed of its success.

I am tempted to list all the names of the people who I have become friends with here, but wont, just in case I forget one, and offend him. Anyway, you guys know who you are. You have been fabulous mentors friends and supporters to me.

Ken....., I never did finish reading that Mach2 pdf.

Turmite....., I look forward to showing you around the opal mines one day.

Boros....for a guy who has been visiting this forum for so long and on a regular basis, I dont know why you have 6 posts to your name.

Moondog,..... I still dont know why there is such a poor responce to your wonderful thread. Dont lose heart though. Yours is one of the best macines I have seen.

Splint, garagefella, I still see you guys lurking from time to time. We must get together again some time soon.

Arnie, You'll finish that machine one day.

Highseas......I am not sure I still understand that pocket joke about 500 posts ago.

Kookaburra, it was nice to meet you at the show, and put a face to the name. You look nothing like your Bob the builder avatar.

All the Moderators, such a witty bunch they are.

To that funny set of guys who dwell in the electronics section, I take my hat off to you lot and your contribution. Phil, I still want those cards when you're ready.

Anyway guys.

Goodbye, and thanks.

Wow, man what a shock, we hope to see you again one day. You have been a great asset to the site and I know I will miss you, and your great ideas.

[Alan T.]

You will be missed Benny,

I hope this is not a "long" absence for you here. You will certainly be missed. Best wishes to you and your journeys in life. Have a safe trip and return soon.

So long, benny. Stop by and see us from time to time!

[High Seas]

Hey Mate, wishing you the best and hope to catch up with you when you drop in again.
BTW, I'm nearly back downunder - Hawaii now, and in a few days hope to be in Brisie/Sydney. I'll try and look a few of the Ausie members up time permitting and all! May have to tip a pint or two.
Cheers - Jim

Later,

Hey Benny,
I'll miss you....have totally enjoyed all the excitement you brought to this site along with your videos and Flash enhancments. Your Photo gallery has been and will be an enjoyment during your hiatus, as I often revisit it. Hope you're not gone long!

Benny sorry to see you go for lot of reasons. Wit, humor, intelligence (sp) just to name a few. I of course have no idea what is up, but you do know what my tag line means! If you need me you can get my email.

If this new atv tire I am designing gets the raves I'm praying for....I think I'll just come over there and let you take me to Lighting Ridge.

May God richly bless you.
Mike

[Hobbiest]

Good luck Benny. It may be a bit presumptuous, but I hope you find what you are looking for, whatever it is.

[Ken_Shea]

Dang Benny,
This will be a loss for us all and you as well I suspect.

All I will say is, Gods speed Benny.

Sorry to see you not being here any more mate, I used to enjoy trolling around looking for your questions and answers. (usually in the early hours)

I hope you at least stick your nose back in here for at least a few days to see the great responses from all your buddies.

Must catch up in the near future as I still owe you a few VBs and some snags

Shame you couldn't crack a thousand posts, I was going to shout myself a treat in your honor.

Cheers Michael
